“Suspended Indianapolis police Officer David Butler received an eight-year sentence Friday after he was found guilty earlier this month of two counts each of robbery and official misconduct.  A jury determined that Butler targeted Hispanic men for traffic stops and then robbed them.  In one incident in 2011, Emiliano Vasquez said Butler took his wallet and made him stand by the officer’s car during a traffic stop at a gas station.  Vasquez was not ticketed, but when he returned to his car and examined his wallet, he found his money was gone. Some of that stop was captured on surveillance video.  In all, there were three victims in three separate traffic stops.”
